Over the years we have approached the subject of economic development from a number of different directions, carrying out both quantitative and qualitative work and trying to develop both methodologies for monitoring the dynamics of change (whether technological, social or economic) and conceptual models to help us understand and predict these dynamics. This is an ongoing process and we are still testing some new approaches. Watch this space for progress reports, or sign up here to be kept informed of new developments.
